PlayStation UniverseTommy HollowaySep 20269.5/10Remedy deliver another hit, boasting enigmatic and visceral combat, an incredibly stylish, mind-bending, kaleidoscopic cityscape, and a surrealist yet utterly captivating narrative. Control Resonant ranks amongst the best of 2026, and absolutely has to be experienced.

Digital ChumpsBen SheeneSep 20269.5/10Though altering many of the original's fundamentals, Control Resonant is every bit an extension of Remedy's incredible universe. Frenzied melee combat and mind-bending exploration house yet another fascinating story across numerous planes of reality.
